we recently put in a water softener system by kinetico. We are so pleased with our choice. We have been living here 4 years and we wished we had put it in sooner. It is amazing the quality of our water now with the system. Our dishes are so much cleaner, we use less soaps and most of all the shower feels so soft and you feel so silky clean. we checked out several companies and this one was the best for us. best purchase we have made
